I have come to the realization that I don't DO purple. Purple is probably one of my least favorite colors to work with. I therefore do not have a lot of purple fabric in my stash. To challenge myself this week I have decided to make a simple baby quilt with purple and green fabrics.

I do, however, have A LOT of KaffeFassett fabrics that I love, but I don't seem to use them very often. So they were also targeted for use in this quilt.

The chosen fabrics:

I have combined the colored fabrics with a solid Handkerchief Linen fabric (55% cotton/ 45% linen), and have made some half square triangles. The linen colorway is birch, a light beige almost grey color.

I am going to spend today sewing the blocks together. The blocks are fairly small. Including seam allowances they measure just 3.25 inches square.

Just gorgeous (again!) and I know where you have been! I phoned just after you had left the shop and mentioned a blogger friend had recommended them to me and they knew who it was immediately - that really tickled my fancy! They are sending samples - nice people - - so the colour is birch - just wonderful!Hugs - Lurline♥

I'm there with you on the purple. For years I refused to have anything purple at all in my closet, but now I am trying to have a bit more of an open mind. Good for you for breaking out of your comfort zone!

wow...you know i got thinking that i never really use any purple either. Despite your feelings about it, these little squares look great together. The purple and green really suit one another. They are going to be a perfect baby quilt

It looks lovely! I really can't stand the color purple - and I'm working on the second quilt with it, lol. Good for you for taking something you don't really like and making something beautiful with it!

What is it about purple? It's my least favorite color and I have NONE in my stash. The only purple I've worked on is baby soft lavendar. Your color combos are so pretty. Love Kaffe. The greens look great with the purple.
